i thank You God

Just read this poem in Janet Morley's book, 'The Heart's Time - A Poem a Day for Lent and Easter'. The words leapt out at me and awakened something fresh and vital (do I detect echoes of Hopkins and the Countess of Craven?) Thank you, Janet - (and, more particularly, e.e.cummings:

i thank You God for this most amazingday: for the leaping of greenly spirits of the treesand a blue true dream of sky; and for everythingwhich is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again todayand this is the sun's birthday; this is the birthday of life and love and wings: and of the gaygreat happening illimitably earth)
